Taking Chance

I cannot for the life of me think of another piece of popular entertainment that I would recommend every American watch, let alone recommend it so enthusiastically. It's a remarkably humble little film, and I think the humility is precisely what makes it so powerful. There's not a single battlefield scene, but the film probably does more to drive home the sacrifices the American military makes — both big and small — than just about anything I can think of. . . . Go see it. You won't be sorry.
